The Newcastle Knights are set to face off against the Cronulla Sharks in Round 7 of the NRL at home.
The Sharks will be looking to secure another two points after a thrilling golden point win the last time these two teams met.
In Round 24 of last season, Daniel Atkinson scored the match winner in the 84th minute, but both teams will have different line-ups this time around.
The Knights will be eager to bounce back after a disappointing performance against the Tigers last week, where they were largely outplayed.
The Tigers dominated the match, only allowing the Knights to score in the final minute.
Fletcher Sharpe's effort in the dying moments prevented a complete shutout for the home side.
This upcoming game between the Knights and Sharks is anticipated to be a closely contested match, with both teams eager to secure the win.
Although the Sharks will be riding high on their previous victory, the Knights will be determined to put up a strong performance in front of their home crowd.
The return of Cronulla from their western trip will provide them with a sense of familiarity and routine, giving them an added advantage heading into this game.
The Knights, on the other hand, will need to regroup and refocus to ensure they are well-prepared for the challenge that the Sharks will present.
As both teams gear up for this Round 7 clash, fans can expect an exciting and competitive game of rugby league.
With memories of their last meeting still fresh, both the Knights and Sharks will be aiming to come out on top this time around.
It promises to be a game filled with intensity, passion, and fierce competition as these two sides battle it out on the field.
